Summary
Something’s different when Duke reappears. He can feel it. Gravity has shifted, the air is cool if still dry, a noise echoes.
Duke opens his eyes, staring right into a cave full of—no.
No.
What’s going on?
This can’t be real, it can’t.
Because he’s looking at a cave full of Bats, and every single one of them have died.
-
In what remains of the Dark Multiverse, Duke is a multiversal Batman, the Final Knight. In another multiverse, Bruce Wayne is testing multiversal travel technology in the right place and time, and Duke gets pulled into a multiverse that hasn’t been ravaged by Barbatos. Upon realizing the multiversal barrier breach appears to be a one-time fluke, Duke is stuck there. And with no mission, he has time to heal.

ylimaf is still family by Crystalinastar

Summary
Reverse Batfam AU where Duke Thomas is Batman's first partner, Lark, and Dick Grayson is Batman's latest partner, Robin, and all the people in between. Some notable additions: Damian Wayne is Red Hood, the Batgirl order is also reversed, and Tim is the unfortunate middle child who doesn't actually change that much. Will be ordered by in-universe chronological order instead of posting order. In fics that take place across multiple times, I'm organizing by the earliest time it takes place in.

Summary
What: Duke Thomas is on summer vacation. For reasons unfathomable, he finds himself in sunny Los Angeles in the company of an almost-relative, Bette, and her infamously green roommate. As for the flying kid in blue—he must be as in on the joke as the rest of them.
Where: The Signal is Gotham’s daylight protector and an Outsider and a dutiful son and everything is alright all the time. Flamebird has her costume on a hanger in the back of her closet, which she turns her head from when she readies for class. Beast Boy capes in a city that doesn’t quite care whether he lives, dies, or stars in his nineteenth commercial. Captain Marvel Jr. visits nearly too much, even though no other place makes Fawcett City more of a faraway dreamland.
When: It’s only for the summer.

Summary
The halo gets brighter the more people that Duke saves.
He’s pretty sure that’s how it works, at least. He inherited it from his mother the day the doctors suggested it as a possibility: we may not be able to help them, Mr. Thomas.
Duke doesn’t know what he is. He doesn’t feel like an angel; he has no divine purpose, no holy weapons, nothing but this stubborn light. But he looks at Robin and some part of him thinks I could do that, too and the halo, deep in his blood, sings.
-
or: an AU concept in which Duke's powers stem from the 10th metal: pure celestial possibility. he inherits a halo that has its own idea of Good and Evil.

Summary
Sure, the whole “let’s race for charity” thing had been done before by the real Jesse Quick and Superwoman, but supervillain threats didn’t stop just so the big leagues could help raise money for cancer research. And Kid Quick and Supergirl are just as fast.
